Thanks to: Vinnie German Randy Romero Michael Piotrowski (Mikko) Jonathan Patschke Tommy McNeely Pat Creamer Some absolutely wonderful advice (loved the humour - laughter is always good). Special thanks to Mikko - his suggestion did exactly what I needed and so far "dt" and "CDE" appear to be happy (nothing funky has occurred yet). (Original question is at the end) Mikko said to add the following to the /usr/openwin/lib/speckkeysd.map file, which I did and then reboot the system: SunAudioMute - /bin/true SunAudioLowerVolume - /bin/true SunAudioRaiseVolume - /bin/true SunVideoDegauss - /bin/true SunPowerSwitch - /bin/true SunPowerSwitchShift - /bin/true SunVideoRaiseBrightness - /bin/true SunVideoLowerBrightness - /bin/true All four keys (suspend/raise audio/lower audio/mute audio) are completely disabled - when pressed nothing happens including zero output in the dtterm (or xterm) window. The customer will be extremely happy (until the next request of course). Original question: Sun Gurus, I have a request to completely disable the "audio keys" on a Sun keyboard MODEL:Type 5 (Solaris 2.6) I renamed the /usr/openwin/lib/speckkeysd.map and this does disable the 'audio function' (including the 'suspend key' which is okay) to a point where if used, the keys still output "xwyv". But the customer wants no output whatsoever. I suggested using super glue but this was nixed :o) Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be done? The systems that require this modification are very "mission critical" and the desired result is that when the furry operator accidently or intentionally hits these keys, absolutely nothing happens. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.
